Why bother?
• UNT used Library Instruction Software for Assessment (LISA)
• Assessed 575 students– 11% could perform a subject search after
instruction• Added a worksheet to instruction
– Success rate increased to 38• Other studies prove it works as well

Design for Active Learning
• 1. Experience– Activity that brings the student’s experience into the teaching
situation– Ex: worksheet
• 2. Practice– Activity where the student is provided an opportunity to demonstrate
their understanding of the new information– Ex: Assessment with LISA
• 3. Application– Opportunity to apply the information to a new situation– Ex: Research paper assignment

Why it works
• Students take an active role in learning• Students are more engaged• Students feel more comfortable
participating and asking questions• Takes into account that learning is a
process

Why it works (cont.)
• Facilitates assessment• Learning is demonstrated to the learner
BY the learner• Facilitates teacher learning• Different learning styles and domains can
be accommodated and addressed• Learning becomes personally meaningful

Why it’s hard
• Requires teacher to take risks• Can feel chaotic and like classroom
control has been lost• Strict time limits• We have a lot of content we want to
cover

– Leader– Searcher– Recorder– Reporter
• Assign each group a searching task

specific criteria to illustrate Boolean concepts
• Explain the concepts as you go• (have them hold up a card that meets the
criteria for the search)
